Tell me about Alaska. Why shouldn't I live in picrel?
>>2722977I don't even live there and it's an easy one for me>Frigid cold>Completely dark half of the year (!!!!!)>socially isolated>alcoholism>poor job market>fucking expensive rent and groceriesdon't be a retard
>>2723018>>Frigid coldThats a myth though. Because it's by the Pacific, the temperatures are actually mild and it has rainforests.Here are some benefits I can think of:> free food because hunting and fishing> free money because of state oil royalty payouts> incredible scenery> lots of tourists so easy pussy> no "big city" problems like crime> killer whales and stuff, canoeing The darkness is a legit issue but then I would probably just fly south for the winter.
>>2723051>no "big city" problems like crimeAnother graduate on Incel University , lmao no crime in Alaska, free food lmao free pussy, guarantee this tard has never been near Alaska and never been hunting or touched a woman
>>2723059Stop projecting, fag. And grow up, what are you 13 years old?
>>2723063Don't be upset, all the stuff you think you know about Alaska is retarded and you learned about it by reading incel threads from other incels who have also never been to AlaskaLmao no crime in alaska
>>2723051You must have never travelled in your life if you think remote places have good access to pussy
>>2722977people tell you it's the cold but the bugs are the true alaska filter
>>2723051Being bordered by the Pacific means nothing, Alaska is on the same lattitude as the Northwest Territories: it's fucking cold. Alaska posseses no rainforests, it has CONIFEROUS/BOREAL forests.Hunting/fishing is only permitted during open season. Otherwise you can't do either under pain of being arrested for poaching. But considering you sound like a naive cityslicker I doubt you can do either.The only tourism Alaska receives is for the Iditarod Dogsled Race, which only lasts for a couple of days. Have fun with dry spells that last the rest of the year.>incredible scenerySnow, snow and would you have guessed it, more snow!Staring at mountains gets old after a while.
>>2723125Not how biome classification works nigger. Theres no fine lines that separate rainforest/forest/arid/desert. Its a spectrum. Alaska does have rainforests though
>>2723018>>Frigid cold>>Completely dark half of the year (!!!!!)>>socially isolated>>alcoholism>>poor job market>>fucking expensive rent and groceriesSounds exactly like Russia
>>2724935Alaska is a first world Russia, yes.
>>2722977Visit first.I did, I had a pretty OK time (not incredible, if I'm honest, not in my top 10 travel spots by a long shot) but I left convinced I'd never live there. All those cities and towns (other than maybe Anchorage, didn't go to Anchorage) are way smaller and more boring than you probably think.I'd never do it unless I was making $250k for some Alaska job which I don't think actually exist.>>2723051>free money because of state oil royalty payoutsThis is like ~$1300-$1700 per year. People seem to imagine some sort of $60k free gibs, nope.
>>2724935Wrong, Russia has good cities. In fact Moscow was rated the best big city in the world and Russia has lower rates of overdoses, murder, homelessness, rape and aids than the usa
>>2723123I always say that when people talk about how beautiful it or Scandinavia or wherever is. How are the mosquitoes? The billions of salmon and trout don't live off salad and pecans.
>>2724940>In fact Moscow was rated the best big cityBy fucking drunk retard standards maybe
>>2723018>>alcoholismIsn't alcohol banned during daytime hours?
Cons>awful weather 80% of the year >22 hours of sunlight or 22 hours of dark >horrible drug and violent crime problems >the worst mosquitos you’ve ever encountered all summer >roads are a disaster >expensive AF cost of living >bunch of paranoid redneck backwoods people who will level a gun at you if they see you near their property >extremely isolated and awful logistics. Furnace or car broken? Gonna be 3 weeks to get the part to fix it >fucking nothing to do besides /out/ activities Pros>S-tier nature >salmon and halibut and crab everywhere
>>2725422https://worldmark.world/un-named-moscow-best-city-in-the-world-in-terms-of-quality-of-life/Lmao this enrages all the NATO stooges they can't stand that America and western Europe is a shithole and Russia is a paradise
>>2725657>blue eyed blonde big titted women everywhere It’s impossible to suffer in Russia
>>2723081>>2723059Crime in alaska only really happens in certain urban areas with the usual suspects. Why are you so angry? My grandpa owns property there and he’s never had an issue.
>>2723125Sitka is not cold at all. It reminds me of norway or scotland.>poachingThis is a joke right? My family and I fished and hunted there illegally all the time when I was growing up.
>>2723051There is NOT good pussy up there
>>2723051>easy pussy if you like trashy cigarette smoking 45yo women maybe
>>2725657> worldmark.worldБыcтpo, peшитeльнo cъeбaлcя oтcюдa нaхyй>>2725661lool russkie women are gold diggers, they age like milk and they dream about getting out of here. Also Moscow and SPb are brown as fuck
Time and again I've toyed with the idea of working a summer up in Alaska. Always falls through. I'm loath to give up the nice apartment and independent car-free life I have here in a small Colorado mountain town for a dorm bed and whatever goyslop the company feels like feeding you. Also, Colorado gets plenty of sunshine, while Alaska is the dreariest state in America. $34 gets me from here straight to Denver International Airport for an afternoon flight direct to Istanbul or Tokyo. Where the hell can you go from Anchorage for a decent fare? That's not even considering the cost of getting to the airport in the first place.
>>2723051I was stationed in Alaska and it’s def not a myth. It was cold as fuck. It’s beautiful though. Wouldn’t live there
>>2723051>Alaska isn’t cold Here’s your (you)
>>2725762Sitka has a really mild climate, doesnt ever get that cold. You likely were stationed in a different climate zone of alaska.
>>2725966He was prob at Eielson AFB by Fairbanks
>>2725724Go back to twitter
>>2722977cause it's still america and americans are a bunch of stupid faggots. I saw pride flags everywhere even on a remote island in wisconsin>>2725657nah, america, western europe, and russia are all major fucking shitholes and I hope they all collapse and burn to the ground`. this west vs russia shit that you kremlin asslickers always try to peddle is such a false dichotomy
>>2722977Because you'd be an Inuit colonizer.
I'm in Southeast, I took pic, and it's a rainforest. You've probably heard the term "Soaking Wet" what you may not know is that there are several levels above that. "Marinating Wet" for instance or "Flooding Wet". So if there's a forest up here you are going to get wet.
>>2725726>Where the hell can you go from Anchorage for a decent fare?DOn't they have direct flights to Asia and Russia?
The good parts of living there is that it's beautiful almost no matter where you go in the state. Summers are glorious and there's no shortage of outdoor activities.The bad is that anything that's not salmon or berries are going to be fucking expensive. It's not the cold so much as the dark that will start to bother you in winter and people start getting crazy in February. Domestic violence and spousal murders spike around then.The state is immense, so YMMV on a lot of things. Winters in the interior can reach levels of cold you would not believe are possible, but are quite mild in the panhandle. In most of the state, you have more to worry about from bears and moose, but Anchorage has become the dumping ground for other states' crime problem and it's always been a place where people on the run go. You mostly have to worry about things getting stolen or your car being broken into rather than JayKwon and Tyrese deciding to bop you. Attitudes to new arrivals in the state range from indifferent to hostile. It's a great place to go if you want to be left alone. There are very few old people, especially around Fairbanks because it's impossible to live there at a certain point if you have certain health conditions. They tend to move to Seattle after a certain age.I can't speak for the job market since I was stationed at Ft. Wainwright, but would imagine that you're good if you have a background in petroleum, mining, or maybe hospitality
>>2731579No way there still are direct flights from anywhere in the US to Russia
>>2723051You are mentally ill. Holy fuck. I hate you.
